Starmer Rejects Claims of UK Role in US Venezuela Strikes

                                                  British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
                        

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has firmly denied that Britain played any part in the United States’ recent military strikes on Venezuela, distancing the UK from a rapidly escalating international confrontation.

Speaking to reporters, Starmer said the UK “was not involved in any way” and emphasized that no British military assets or personnel supported the U.S. operation. He added that his government is working to verify details of the strike and intends to speak directly with U.S. leadership to gain clarity on the situation.

The Prime Minister also highlighted the importance of international law and confirmed that British officials are monitoring the safety of UK nationals currently in Venezuela.

The U.S. action has triggered widespread global reaction and heightened uncertainty about Venezuela’s political future. Starmer’s comments signal a clear effort to keep Britain at arm’s length from the unfolding crisis.
